제임스 M. 로빈슨의 신해석학과 예수 전승의 궤적 연구

This article introduces Robinson’s hermeneutical standpoint of so-called New Hermeneutic and examines its influence on his study on historiographic trajectory of tracing the process of development of a pristine genre of sage’s words, the motif of divine wisdom’s withdrawal, and the relation of kerygma and history (historicity of resurrection). His hermeneutic is not to be directed to the interpretation of text on the basis of interpreter’s pre-understanding (Vor- verständnis), but to be aimed at being interpreted by ‘Being’[Sein] or God happening. Language of text (genre, paradoxical structure, literay style etc.) brings in to interpreter a total understanding of human being, nature, God, etc. By further developing Fuchs’ New Nermeneutic’s insight of language-event (Sprach- ereignis), Robinson suggests a new hermeneutical principle for interpreting Jesus’ parables that not only literary form but also subject matter engenders Being-Event(Ereignis) which makes us have a new understanding of our relation with God and Jesus Christ. The new hermeneutical insights, e.g., language’s engendering ability of ‘Being-Event’ and fusion of two horizons are implied in his study of a historiographic trajectory of Jesus tradition, that a primitive form (genre) of the words of sages (λόγοι σωφῶν) lays the basic foundation for the development of diverse kind of genre of sayings Gospel and christological beliefs. Also, he studies the developing process of formulating early christology into which the motif of divine wisdom’s withdrawal is proceeded to engender a form of disciple’s dialogue with phantasm of resurrected Christ in being disseminated all over in the four Gospels, apocrypha, and church fathers’ works. Especially, it is highly evaluated that his study contributes to creating a pioneering research model of historiographic trajectory study by exemplifying his own creative fusion of two horizons between hermeneutic and historiography of Jesus tradition and Kerygma.
